In
what can only be labeled a victory for the American people and the
rule of law along with states’ rights, the Supreme Court this
week upheld Arizona’s E-Verify law that mandates that employers
hire legal American citizens and not illegal aliens.

Roy
Beck, director of NumbersUSA.org, gave this definitive interview on
this victory:

“The
most important result of today's
Supreme Court ruling probably is not what will happen in the states
but in Congress,” said Beck. “With more than a dozen
states with different E-Verify laws and different rules for businesses
-- and with the Supreme Court opening the way for all other states
to adopt their own rules -- the business lobbies ought to be ready
to work with Congress to pass a uniform national law.

“Many
businesses that operate in multiple states are already complaining
to their lobbyists that they don't like operating under all the different
rules and would prefer a national law. Unless Congress passes a mandatory
E-Verify law this year, at least a dozen more states are likely next
winter to pass their own E-Verify laws.

“One
of the complaints that business lobbyists are hearing from their members
in states WITH E-Verify laws is that they don't like competing with
businesses in other states that are allowed to use cheaper illegal
labor while forcing taxpayers to subsidize them. So many businesses
in E-Verify states are joining us in the pressure for a national law.”

BUSINESS
LOBBIES HAVE BLOCKED TOTAL E-VERIFY IN CONGRESS FOR 15 YEARS -- BUT
WE HAVE BEEN WINNING STEP VICTORIES

‘Lobbyists
for business groups and illegal-alien advocacy groups have blocked
Congress from passing a national mandatory law since 1996,”
said Beck. “NumbersUSA and its allies have fought every year
to win incremental victories. First, to create the workplace verification
system as a pilot program for just a few states. Later, to expand
the voluntary system nationwide. Most recently to persuade Pres. Obama
to mandate
its use for all federal contractors.

“If
the Supreme Court had knocked us down today, the business lobbies
would have looked out over a whole nation without any states requring
employers to electronically verify that they weren't hiring illegal
foreign workers. And they would have felt little pressure to do anything
other than they've always done, which is to throw all their weight
in Congress toward protecting employers that prefer to hire illegal
aliens over unemployed Americans. But not now.”

“Of
all the open-border groups' court challenges against immigration enforcement
across the country, this suit before the U.S. Supreme Court (that
was heard last December) was/is by far the most important.”

AND
WE WON IT 5-3!

“Nothing
will do more to retard future illegal immigration and accelerate the
departure of the current illegal population than taking away the job
magnet,” said Beck. “Arizona and more than a dozen other
states have already passed various versions of E-Verify law. All of
those could have been wiped out when the Supreme Court announced its
decision this morning.

“But
instead, our strategy of mandating E-Verify in as many states as possible
to pressure Congress to do it nationwide has been approved by the
highest court of the land.”

NumbersUSA's
AMICUS BRIEF WAS PART OF THIS COURT CASE

“You
may remember that as soon as the Supreme Court began business last
fall NumbersUSA filed an Amicus brief in support of the State of Arizona
making sure that the Justices and their clerks were aware of a number
of important legal and factual points that we weren't certain were
in the main briefs.

“The
key issue in the court case was whether Arizona could take away the
business license of an employer who refuses to use E-Verify. The NumbersUSA
Amicus went into great detail in showing that such a state law is
precisely what Congress has set up as a state enforcement option over
the last 25 years. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice
John Roberts who said that Arizona's E-Verify law "falls well
within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the
states."

“Justices
Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
(The newest Justice, Elena Kagan, was not involved in this case because
she had been part of Pres. Obama's support of the Chamber of Commerce
before she was elected to the Court.)

“Please

Senate by fall.”
